It was a heartbreaking situation that Rachel Thill never dreamed she’d be in. How was she going to tell Stella, her 18-month-old daughter, that she’d never see Papa again?
Thill’s husband, Craig, died unexpectedly in October 2005 at age 39. An autopsy was not conclusive, but sleep apnea and cardiac arrhythmia might have been contributing factors.
“All I know is that our world changed forever the night Craig died,” says Thill, who lives in Verona and is a program assistant in sports medicine at UW Research Park in Madison.
